The growing season in 2012 was as good as one could hope
for as a winegrower. Lingering winter weather pushed the bud break
into April--similar to 2010 and 2011. The all-important flowering
occurred under perfect conditions and the crop was abundant.
Harvest was late and leisurely, giving the wines great balance,
depth and length.

Complex soil driven aromas of mint, sage and hazelnut are very
inviting. Elegance--and by that meaning power with grace--is what
comes through on the palate. Flavors combine essence of lemon,
green apple and honeysuckle leading to an expansive finish.

Built to last--with good cellaring, expect further development for
another three years and a drinking plateau of twenty.Total Production:1,986 Cases
